What is prayer? How does it work? And does it even help at all?
Where do we start and where will it lead? These are questions that
Johannes Hartl has spent his life exploring. Questions that have
found their answers through encounter, experience and often through
travel - a journey of discovery that has taken Hartl into the very
heart of true prayer. Weaving together stories of individuals,
movements and moments he has encountered across the world, Hartl
invites you to join him on an incredible adventure. Exploring
different approaches to prayer, such as contemplative,
intercessory, creative, powerful and revelatory prayer, Hartl
encourages us to rediscover the true heart of prayer - a God who
hears us and wants to speak to us. For those who want to experience
the power of prayer or who are struggling to pray, this book is
full of thoughtful insights and wisdom, combined with reflective
applications which will inspire and challenge readers to catch the
fire for a life of prayer themselves.
SPANISH EDITION. Prayer is the engine of preaching -- before, while
and after sharing the sermon with the hearers. In order to speak to
men about God, you first have to speak to God about men. Prayer
keeps the focus on God where it should always be -- not on the
preacher.
The spiritual exercise of making decrees finds its precedent in
both Old and New Testaments--the practice means simply quoting
God's promises back to him, "reminding" him of what he has said.
This kind of prayer is one of the most vital forms of intercession.
In fact, the practice of decreeing God's Word not only builds our
faith but transforms our lives. In this powerful and enlightening
book, bestselling author and entrepreneur Patricia King helps
readers grasp the power of inspired and finely tuned prayer. King
explains how to * find specific texts of Scripture for your need *
counter problems with God's Word * speak truth into reality *
understand the difference between confessing the Word, proclaiming
the Word, and decreeing the Word * and more Join countless
believers who love the Word of God and honor its authority through
their prayers. Accept the challenge to pray the words of Scripture
boldly--in God's timing, for his will and purposes.
You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold
dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s
more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith
isn’t general or generic, not a one-size-fits-all. It’s specific.
Personalized. Targeted.
So this book is your chance to strike back. With prayer. With a weapon
that really works. Each chapter will guide you in crafting prayer
strategies that hit the enemy where it hurts, letting him know you’re
on to him and that you won’t back down. Because with every new strategy
you build, you’re turning the fiercest battles of life into precise
strikes against him and his handiwork, each one infused with the power
of God’s Spirit.
New York Times bestselling author Priscilla Shirer, widely known for
her international speaking, teaching, and writing ministries, brings
her new role from the 2015 film War Room into the real lives of today’s
women, addressing the topics that affect them most: renewing their
passion, refocusing their identity, negotiating family strife, dealing
with relentless regrets, navigating impossible schedules, succeeding
against temptation, weathering their worst fears, uprooting bitterness,
and more. Each chapter exposes the enemy’s cruel, crafty intentions in
all kinds of these areas, then equips and encourages you to write out
your own personalized prayer strategies on tear-out sheets you can post
and pray over yourself and your loved ones on a regular basis.
Fervent: A Woman's Battleplan For Prayer is a hands-on, knees-down,
don’t-give-up action guide to practical, purposeful praying.
When Quietism was condemned in 1687 it resulted in an antipathy, if
not an open hostility to authentic mystical theology. This
situation has lasted down to the present day and has been
aggravated by many forms of counterfeit mysticism that are
self-centred, not God-centred. The consequences have been
disastrous. To restore the balance lost to Christian spirituality,
the author returns to the profound mystical teaching that Jesus
himself lived and handed on to the early Church through his
disciples. His research has resulted in a book that details a
practical daily spirituality for all, that mirrors that which was
lived by our earliest Christian forebears. It emphasises the
original balance between personal and communal prayer in such a way
that our whole lives become the place where we continually offer
our lives through Christ to the Father.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer teaches readers
how to create change in their lives and truly receive God's
blessings. Includes powerful Scriptures covering over 50 topics,
such as patience, loneliness, and wisdom.
Jesus’ disciples heard every message, witnessed every miracle and
deliverance and healing and we don’t see one recorded time where they
asked Him, “Teach us to preach,” or “Teach us to heal,” or “Teach us to
deliver.” After spending three and a half years with the Son of God in
the flesh, they cried out to Him, “We want Your prayer life… Teach Us
to Pray!” They understood that Jesus’ public life of ministry was the
result of His private life of prayer with the Father.
It’s in light of this reality that we must begin to shift all of our
discipleship and training of the next generation. We are living in
turbulent days, therefore we must get back to the foundational
realities of intimate connection with heaven. We must come out of the
swirl of noise and busyness and distraction and reconnect to heaven so
that we will see heaven’s invasion into the earth.
Corey Russell has given himself to 30-plus hours of prayer a week for
the last 20 years, and longs to take the lessons he has learned through
all the seasons of life and impart them to as many as will receive.

culture and cultivate hours at the feet of Jesus

lives on and hear His voice

world around you

Teach Us to Pray will ignite your prayer life from one that is filled
with boredom into one that is filled with power!
What do spiritual gifts have to do with our daily lives?
Spiritual gifts are more than just ancient wisdom to be studied. They
are practical components of our everyday lives.
Famed songwriter and musician John Michael Talbot—an early proponent of
the unified Charismatic and Catholic movement --weaves together prayer,
biblical teaching, songs, and contemplative thought to examine the
gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Chapters focus on:
- Speaking in tongues and its interpretation
- Healing and the divine power of the body, soul, and spirit
- Prophecy and being empowered to show God’s truth
- Miracles and other supernatural interventions
- Discernment and the types of spirits
Written in a personal, compelling tone, Exploring the Gifts of the
Spirit presents ancient wisdom with an accessible, down-to-earth,
practical approach. Talbot skillfully introduces readers to wisdom from
varied saints and Church leaders, biblical studies, theology, and
church history, helping believers moor their spiritual experience to
God’s truth.

If we're honest, most of us feel bored, distracted, or discouraged
in prayer. We look for resources to give us the "right" words or
teach us the "right" technique and are disappointed when they don't
seem to help. What we fail to realize is that prayer isn't a place
for us to be good or right, and it isn't a place for us to perform
or prove our worth. It's a place for us to be honest, present, and
known--a place for us to offer ourselves and receive God. Spiritual
formation experts Kyle Strobel and John Coe want to show you what
you've been missing when it comes to prayer. In this down-to-earth
book, they show you how to fearlessly draw near to a holy God, pray
without ceasing (and without posturing), and delight in the
experience of being fully known and fully loved. Each chapter ends
with prayer projects or practices to help you see a difference in
your prayer life, starting now.
Satan prowls around, ready to pounce on our every weakness, fill us
with fear, and destroy our intimate relationship with Christ. But we
are not defenseless. We have weapons of warfare enabling us to be
spiritually aggressive and face the devil head on. Rather than lose
ground in our faith, we can live armed and dangerous!
In this handbook of militant prayers, evangelist and ex-satanist John
Ramirez helps you prepare for and move into advanced combat. He covers
topics such as
- strengthening your position as a warrior
- opening your spiritual eyes
- releasing the thunder of God against the devil
- loosing God's blessings
- and more!
We have the authority and the mandate to destroy the works of the
devil. Let's do it!
Whether you've been a couple who has prayed together for many years
or this is your first prayer devotional, inspiration is waiting for
you in the daily prayers written here. Ultimately, prayer is a
conversation with God. You don't need to use fancy words or recite
long passages of Scripture. Just talk to God. Open your heart. He
adores you, and he's listening to every word you say. Some days
your prayers may be filled with gratitude, some days with
repentance, and some with need. Just lay your heart and your
prayers at the Father's feet and wait for his powerful response. Be
blessed as you connect daily with God and each other.
Tim and Kathy Keller's bestseller THE MEANING OF MARRIAGE looked at
the human need for love and its expression in marriage. This new
devotional, drawing on that book but consisting of all-new
material, is a day-by-day devotional to help couples find God's
wisdom as they navigate the complexities of married life. Each day
includes a quotation from Scripture, a comment from the Kellers,
and a prayer to help you ground your married life in God. Covering
friendship and commitment, the completion of men and women in each
other, and ministry and discipleship within the context of
marriage, alongside many other themes, this is a profound resource
to help you connect God's wisdom with your marriage.
